MOVIE NEWS – Marvel fans were surprised, as the new trailer officially introduces another Blade version of the MCU…
Disney has just published a brand new Marvel trailer, in which we got a glimpse of another MCU appearance of Blade – the legendary vampire hunter!
Yes, before you say anything, we all know that Wesley Snipes’ Blade was in Deadpool & Wolverine. But now it’s not about that Blade…
Disney recently shared a teaser trailer (see the end of this article), which is actually a combined presentation of several different upcoming MCU projects. Blade (or at least a version of Blade) actually appears as part of the Marvel Zombies teaser at 1:01 in the trailer.
You might not recognize it initially, though, as this Blade looks like it took some fashion cues from Moon Knight.
Blade and Moon Knight weren’t exactly key characters in the original Marvel Zombies comic. So, it doesn’t seem like this relationship is based on anything in the comics. Exactly why Khonshu chose Peng to take over as Khonshu’s fist is a mystery for now, but it’s pretty cool.
However, Blade and Moon Knight have crossed paths several times in the comics, usually due to some sort of Dracula-related mishap, so maybe this is just a slap in the face to that.
Although nothing has been confirmed yet, I highly doubt Mahershala Ali will be voicing Blade in Marvel Zombies.
Many of the original MCU characters do not voice their own characters in the animated productions. (Most probably because it would be too expensive to hire them…) So it is logical that Ali probably won’t agree to voice Penge either.
There’s a good chance we’ll have to wait for the live-action MCU Blade movie for that to happen. But when that will happen remains a mystery.
